Hurricane Rafael, an unusual November storm, has strengthened to a Category 2 with sustained winds of 110 mph.
It poses a rare and severe threat, particularly from Texas to the Florida Panhandle. The storm is set to make landfall in western Cuba within hours, putting southeastern U.S. communities on high alert.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued warnings for areas along Rafael’s path, including the Florida Keys, where heavy rain, flash flooding,
and tornado risks are expected. With the potential for further strengthening over the Gulf of Mexico, officials urge residents to prepare for major weather disruptions and monitor advisories closely.
